        @iriatum If you open the Bookmarks file in a text editor, do you see any sign of your bookmarks?

          @leocg hay mate, apologies for late reply!

          If you open the Bookmarks file in a text editor, do you see any sign of your bookmarks?
          Before I bother to search for solution, I tried to open the folder you mentioned and take a look around for any missing file/folder, first I checked Bookmarks was completely empty "NO URL" (VSC editor) ...
          Now; while writing this line i double checked, still nothing!!!
          Yesterday, I started to bookmark what I remembered, by visit each or googling 😞 this gona take ages ....

          BTW: there are 2 files:

          • bookmarks (which is suppose to be contained url) ALMOST EMPTY
          • BookmarksExtras (unreadable)

          Answering your question: No, there is no sign of any HOPE!

          However, worth to mention that most of files/folders duplicated? doubled and/or tripled same name but ended with:

          • .backup
          • .old
          • .tmp
          • .log

          Unfortunately, bookmarks not one of them?
          Even thou, my curiosity took me deep into folders, while I am 100% that bookmarks long gone "deleted" In a way or another....
          My suspicious caused this issue one of the following; either it is (updating Windows) or (updating Opera) last version, there is no other way?

          I am 100% positive , because ..

          1. No one touched my computer!
          2. I didn't use any third-party tools to "clean" my PC? as mentioned previously post...
          3. I was trying to start some project, that's why I collect all of these URL, otherwise ... why bothering ?
            I mean I never go further without backing up my stuff? so I have my old bookmarks...

          My problem is: ALL Bookmarks disappeared just like that?
          I read articles at windows center, talking about last cumulative update can causes some issues and "delete files" one of them!

                    @iriatum Then they weren't created. Or they were lost.

                      @leocg is this just a guess, since you never request any logs from 3 of us who face same issue! (I don't know how this works but I know what other moderator in other forums will do "Basic" things to figure out)

                      Anyway....
                      I have no problem with that at all, but what case this issue?

                      " Lost All Bookmarks "

                      So I'll try my best to avoid it next time?

                        @iriatum Those are the two possibilities for the question /discussion I was replying to.

                          @iriatum This is a forum mainly for users to try to help each other. Opera employees may come an reply here eventually but we should not expect any answers from them.

                          So what we, users, do here is use our own experience and/or the ones from other users shared here to try to help solving issues.

                          And yes, there will be a lot of guessing and some issues won't be able to be solved.
